I am trying to import tags on ignition using csv file for the first time and I am facing an error which I am not able to eliminate. I am a novice at using iginition and learning.

This is the error I get:

Tag errors occurred during tag import Error\_Exception("Error importing tags: Error on row 37: For input string: """)

Hi @Abhilash_Bhattachary,  
Are you importing these tags interactive or direct via Tag Browser? Can you post the full csv file so we can see what line 37 is doing?

There are more details on the tag file formats for a csv tag import can be found here.
